I am 70 pages into Gibson's "Neuromancer" and will probably stop there. I know it was seminal and revolutionary at the time, but I'm not enjoying it enough to finish.
I don't like any of the characters. I'm also realizing that in Sci-Fi, I dislike when the author throws too much in-world jargon around like I'm supposed to know it already. I used to think it was clever, but now find it annoying.
My nerd cred just lost another 10%, probably.
